Well, I guess we all know who is suffereing from PMS now don't we. Did you read your response? How dumb was that, a childproof home is just as safe for a bird, it is all about the training and how you take care of them. And how do you know how many birds I have even seen? If this is a power trip for you than enjoy, I just want bird owners with a heart to understand that they do NOT have to clip wings no matter what people like you or un educated vets think.
